Default How to kill a remote process running on PC A from PC B or share ap


Hi Folks,
I have PC A and B in the same UserGroup with full w/r access. When I don't
shut down a specific app running on PC A, and then try to launch it from PC
B it gives me an error. Basically the reources from PC A are tying it up.
I've played with the Sharing/Security paramaters on the specific file, but
all those "w/r privledges" doesn't allow the app to be shared. How do I work
around this? I've tried all these adjustments as an Administrator and also PC
A logon user.

THanks in advance!

Remote Desktop maybe?

RealVNC maybe?

Galen,

I've wrongly described the situation. It's User A and User B on the same
desktop.
When User A walks away w/o logging off, he/she ties up the resources so user
B can't launch the same app when they log in. I wasn't clear on that. When I
open up Task manager on User B's login, I get the MS error. I also don't see
the application running under Task Manager so that I can kill it. I have to
log back in as User A, then kill the app before any other user can login to
use the app.

I don't honestly know if this will work. But... You can try disabling fast
user switching and then changing the settings to go to a screen saver after
x-minutes and select the option to make the login screen appear.
